Matt,

Thanks for that link! It was well worth the time. Any
of you that haven't listened, give it a shot.

Every Christmas season, the Geological Society of
Nevada looks for presentations that might be of
general interest to kids and spouses as well as the
geos in the family. I have been making the rounds
year after year to the different chapters telling of
the "hidden meteorite rush" to the remote dry lakes
of this state. I always take meteorite bits that kids
(only!) can buy for as little as 25 cents. (We bring
a selection of top end stuff as well---). Last year we
sold over $1000 in less than an hour, and turned on a
whole new wave of enthusiasts.

This audio presentation gave me some great new bits
and pieces. Any of you that do the same sort of thing
will find some new inspirations here.

Thanks again, Matt. We are here for this sort of
communication, not for the feces-slingers who pre-emt
us from time to time.

Cheers,
Norm
